3. My Opinion,
and if it is correct it would explain a lot of things, is that our country is actually run by a Soviet Style (made up of elite capitalists from major corporations..ie..Pharma, oil, insurance, MIC, etc..) Politburo that tells President Obama what to do and not to do.

They,IMO, became fully in power during the Reagan Presidency (maybe when JFK was assassinated or even before that). They are the people "pulling the strings." Our President, Congress, etc.. are just figureheads. It explains a lot. Like "meet the new boss, same as the old boss", etc...

Maybe that is just what I want to believe. I worked hard to help elect candidate Obama. He is visiting Ft. Campbell, KY today. Just ten miles down the road and I do not plan to try and see him (from afar of course) because I have been so disappointed.

Yes, I plan on voting for him again. To me it is the lesser of two evils, but I often wonder if it matters. Presidents used to actually make a huge difference. Maybe, post-FDR and the failed(?) coup by the elites was when it all changed. IDK..........but I do know that it has changed dramatically.
